There isn’t much you can tell about Gilbert Lodge from his website other than he is based out of Zurich and he makes some seriously kick-ass imagery. His work consists largely of what appear to be simple vector portraits but the simplicity is what makes them powerful and absorbing. I guess with a name like Gilbert, you have no choice but to kick some serious ass.
James Jean has launched a still rough site that is none-the-less chalk-full of really inspiring work. His mural for Prada is particularly fantastic. I have been following his work for some time now and he is definitely one worth keeping tabs on.
There are some interesting, somewhat We Work For Them inspired posters at Smalitcolor for your viewing pleasure. So when did it become standard to have to print out your posters, put on some hipster girl jeans, and hold the poster up in front of you to be photographed. I just can’t help but notice that everyone under thirty who is ‘cool’ has to display their posters or large prints that way. How do cheesy trends like that get started?
There is some really classic work in the portfolio of Jason Munn who calls himself The Small Stakes. Absolutely gorgeous work as a matter of fact. Great use of negative space and beautifully understated minimal typography. He seems to understand and capture the personality and essence of each band while maintaining his minimal style. Be sure to spend some time looking through his work, every click of the next button is worth the time.
